St. James Hotel,
Piccadilly.
My dear Boughton Thanks, th anks , my dear boy, for your encouraging note which--i'the sea of faint praise with wt!. the critics have overwhelmed me--is indeed a consolation. Don't think, though, that I'm at all discouraged. 'Tis better than I expected--would the business were so. You 're as good as gold to take such genuine interest in me & I wish the Princess's could be crowded with you every night. Yes, "scholarly" is "an ill phrase, a vile phrase "--but what can a poor crittik do
